What did everyone think of the mans speech?
One moment that i noticed was when he said something along these lines: "...the unmarked graves of discarded lies." A powerful quote to say the least. When referring to defeated enemies he listed: Nazism, Totalitarianism, and Fascism. Notice the absence of communism...

Communism didn't have to be totalitarian though Djinn.
I thought it was a very interesting speech. Gave me chills though. We're watching history unfold. Amazing time to be alive.

i think that now people pretty much associate totalitarianism with communism. i didnt really think it was such a bad speech, but my brother just layed there on the couch complaining at the applause cuz he was trying to sleep! did he ever think that a declaration of war might actually be IMPORTIANT!?

It's simple. Once the Planet is hurt, it gathers Spirit Energy to heal the injury. The amount of energy gathered depends on the size of the injury...What would happen if there was an injury that threatened the very life of the Planet? Think how much energy would be gathered! Ha, ha, ha. And at the center of that injury, wil be me. All that boundless energy will be mine. By merging with the energy of the Planet, I will be come a new life form, a new existence. Melding with the Planet, I will cease to exist as I am now. Only to be reborn as a 'God' to rule over every living soul.

Well I thought by leaving communism out of the mix he was reffering to China.
Now was that an invitation to China...?

Well the problem now is that the politics against terrorism also would onvolve that on an international level, alot of the "terrorists" are seen as freedom fighters in the western world. If they invite many other countries with these problems. US has lost a negotiating level and can´t be able to support some of them. Careful steps needs to be taken about what people do and say..

Communism isn´t well, defeated yet is it??

Well enough politics for one day.. I just hope that the leaders of all countries are careful.. Nobody wants a big war..
